For immunoblotting, cells were harvested by trypsinization and lysed in
1x Laemmli buffer (50 mM Tris, 10% glycerol, 2% SDS, 0.01% bromophenol blue,
2.5% β-mercaptoethanol) at 107 cells/ml. Lysates were

TBS-T, and incubated for 1 h at room temperature with
horseradish-peroxidase-conjugated sheep anti-mouse or donkey anti-rabbit
secondary antibodies. After three washes in TBS-T, membranes were rinsed in TBS

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
